Launched in 2013, BALISTA is a 47-metre motor yacht built for twelve guests in six cabins, run by a crew of nine out of Monaco. She sits in the sweet spot — substantial across her decks, yet quick to slip between Villefranche, the Îles de Lérins and Saint-Tropez. Open water to Sardinia when the itinerary calls for it. From €170,000 a week.
